To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that l, LEVI l).\ Home, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Brockton. in the State of Massachusetts, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Bakmglans andLifting.Xttaclunents Therefor, of which the. following is a specification. Thisinvention relates-to baking pans such as are used for baking bread, andhaving straight opposite sides.

The invention has for its object to enable a pan of this character tooccupy not more than the usual space in an oven, and to be removed fromthe oven .when hot without liability of burning the handsof the personmanipulating the pan.

he invention consists in the improvements which I will now proceed todescribe and claim.

Of the accompanying drawings which form a part of thisspecification,Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a baking pan anda lifting attachment therefor embodying my invention, the attachmentbeing shown by full lines separated from the pan, and by dotted linesengaged with the pan to lift and transport the same, Fig. 2 represents a.transverse section of the pan,

as shown by Fig. 1, Fig. 3 represents a View similar'to Fig. 2, showinga slightly different construction. 1

Similar reference characters indicate the same or similar parts in allthe figures.

In the draWings,-12, 12 represent. the longer straight sides of a.baking pan of ordinary form, the pan being made from a sheet metalblank, the edges of which are preferably rolled outward to form amarginal rib 13 which incloses the usfial rein- 15, 15 represent sheetmetal lugs which are attached to the sides 12 at points close to the rib13, and project outwardly from said sides directly under the rib. Thelugs 15 may bemade in separate'pieces having cars 15 interposed betweenthe sides 12 and lips 13' on the ribs 13, as shown by Figs. 1

' and 2, or the said lugs may be integral with the ribs 13, as shown byFig. 3. The lugs 15 have extensions 15 which. are bent downwardly andinwardly and terminatej'in cars 15 which are rigidly attached id t 6sides 12 by rivets 16 or otherwise, as by 501- der.

sides of the lugs, so that the said attachment.

is adapted to lift and transport the pan.

The. lifting attachment comprises a ban dle portion 17 and two straightparallel arms 18 which are offsetin opposite directions and are adaptedto be moved endwise from the position shown by full lines. to that shownby dotted lines in Fig. 1, and thus caused. to bear on the downwardlyfacing sides of the lugs 15, as indicated b and 3. a lifting engagementbeing thus established between the attachment and the pan. The liftingattachment; is preferably composed of a single piece of stout wire, thecentral portion of which is bent to form the handle 17, and necks 19connecting the handle with the arms, 18; the latter being straight andso spaced apart that they are adapted to bear on the downwardly facingsides of the lugs 15.

'hen the pan is ready to be removed from the oven with a loaf of bread,the operator grasping the handle 17 moves the lifting attachment endwisefrom the position shown.

by fulllines, Fig. 1, to that shown by dot- Figs. 2.

ted lines, ,thus engaging the arms 18 with the lugs 15. The pan may nowbe removed from the oven. there being no occasion for the operators.hands to touch the hot pan. If desired, the attachment may be engagedwith the pan before depositing the latter in the oven, the attachmentbeing withdrawn from the pan after it has been properly locatcd in theoven, so that the pan does notoccupy more than the usual space in-tl eoven, and the handleis kept cool and in readiness for the removal of thehot pan when the bread is baked.

Tholugs .15 are stiffened by the ribs 13 andhythe extensions 15 so thatthere is no liability of their being bent out of shape.

1. A baking pan having 'straighttopposite sides the top edges of whichare. rolled to form marginal reinforcing ribs, and long tudinallydisposed downwardly facing ,laigs, said lugs being each connected at oneedge to one of said sides and its reinforcing rlb, the other edge ofeach lug being also secured to the same side of the pan, 1n comwithparallel arms adapted to engage said lugs.

2. A baking pan having straight opposite sides the top edges of whichare rolled to form marginal reinforcing ribs, and longitudinallydisposed downwardly facing lugs, said lugs being each integral with oneof said reinforcing ribs, the free edge of each bination with a liftingmember provided lug being secured to the side of the pan, in 10combination with a lifting member adapted i to engage said lugs.

In testimony whereof I have affixed my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.
